Linnéa Sandström Lange (L) has resigned from her positions on the Norra Innerstaden District Council and the Social Delegation. Alexander Zejlon (L) has been elected to fill her seat until the end of 2026. The Social Delegation makes decisions on individual social services cases, including those under the Social Services Act and the Care of Young Persons Act.

The Social Welfare Committee in Stockholm has decided which city social services employees are authorized to request immediate police assistance in urgent cases, specifically for interventions under LVM, LVU, and the law on placing children in protective housing. District committees, such as Norra innerstaden, are now urged to make similar decisions to ensure social services have the necessary authority to act quickly when children or adults require acute protection or care.

The Norra Innerstaden District Council proposes that five members, in addition to the chairman, be authorized to make urgent decisions regarding the care of children and adults, and placement in sheltered housing. This applies to cases under the LVU, LVM, the Sheltered Housing Act, and the Social Services Act, allowing for quick action when a regular council meeting cannot be awaited. This authorization would be valid from April 1st to December 31st, 2026.

The Norra innerstaden district council is to approve an updated delegation policy, which means the council decides which matters officials and committees can make decisions on, rather than the council itself in each case. This aims to streamline work and shorten decision paths. The revised policy takes effect on April 1, 2026, and includes changes regarding emergency foster care decisions under the new Social Services Act and updates related to the service administration's reorganization.

The City of Stockholm is planning to meet the need for special service housing for people with disabilities until 2036, projecting an increase from 1,987 to 2,368 individuals needing such services by 2035. The greatest demand is for group homes with standard accessibility in the inner city, though there's also a need for larger, freestanding group homes, despite the challenges of building these in dense urban areas.

The City District Board of Norra innerstaden proposes extending the contract with Vardaga Silverhemmen AB, which operates Linnégården care home. This means the 86-apartment facility at Linnégatan 61, providing care for somatic and dementia conditions, will continue under the same management from February 1, 2027, to January 31, 2030. This decision is based on the home meeting requirements for safe and high-quality care, as confirmed through follow-ups and unannounced visits.

A citizen proposed a new service in Norra innerstaden for elderly living alone, allowing them to regularly confirm they are alive and receive help if they don't respond. The district administration replied that several existing services already enhance safety, such as health educators, personal alarms, and the volunteer organization Kontaktringen, and offered to help the citizen explore these options.

A citizen proposed that seniors should be allowed to bring their own wine to Vasaträffen, a senior center, and that the center should apply for a serving permit to offer alcohol at cost, after a recent notice prohibited alcohol citing the alcohol law. The city district administration found that the alcohol law requires a serving permit for premises selling non-alcoholic beverages, which Vasaträffen does, thus prohibiting all alcohol without one. The district committee approved the administration's recommendation to not allow BYOB generally, but to explore obtaining temporary serving permits for special events.

A citizen proposed lighting and winter sanding for the stairs connecting Valhallavägen and Körsbärsvägen in Roslagsparken, citing darkness and insecurity. The Norra innerstaden District Council will investigate lighting options for the stairs in 2026, as funds are allocated for Roslagsparken's refurbishment. Regarding sanding, the administration is already responsible for winter maintenance and will contact their contractor to address any shortcomings.

A new citizen proposal has been submitted to the Norra innerstaden District Council, suggesting that "Nya verkstan" change its name back to "Verkstan för alla." The council proposes that the administration now further investigate this proposal.

The District Director reported on two main points: firstly, the transition to the new Social Services Act is underway, with more non-means-tested interventions now offered in Norra innerstaden and further additions expected within a year. Secondly, several changes have occurred in preschool facilities, including evacuations of Solrosen due to smoke damage and Rio for pipe replacement, the closure of Greven and relocation of Grev Ture open preschool, and planned pipe replacement and evacuation for Stångkusken.

The City Library is undergoing extensive renovation and operational development. The Real Estate Committee has approved the third status report for the project, which includes replacing technical systems, replastering facades in their original colors, and adapting spaces, especially for children and young people.

Leif Söderström and Roine Löfgren (SD) proposed moving construction materials from an area next to Haga BP to create a temporary full-size football pitch. However, the Sports Administration stated this isn't feasible as the area is needed for the ongoing Hagastaden project, including a new Sveavägen route and permanent streets, a process continuing until 2028-2029. Additionally, relocating the materials would be more costly and increase the climate footprint.

The City of Stockholm proposes to acquire the historic Tullhuset (Custom House) on Blasieholmen for 47 million SEK from S:t Erik Markutveckling AB. This 1876 building, currently used as offices by SL but set to be vacant by late 2026, will be transformed into cultural premises, preserving its significant cultural heritage values.

The City Library is undergoing extensive renovation and operational development, including new technical systems and the restoration of its facades to their original condition. This work also expands and adapts spaces for children and young people to enhance library services for this group. The library is now expected to reopen to the public during the first quarter of 2028, a slight delay compared to the initial plan.

The Stockholm Property Committee has approved a revised plan to address extensive damage, including rusty pipes and sewage leaks, in the Hötorgsgaraget’s pump pits and drainage system. This project will renovate two pump pits, pipelines, concrete slab, pillars, and rebar in the city-owned portion of the garage, as well as decouple it from neighboring properties' systems, aiming for completion by late 2028 at an estimated cost of 50 to 300 million SEK.

The Board of S:t Erik Frihamnen AB has approved the company's management report for 2025. This report details key events, investments, maintenance, leasing, and future plans for the properties the company owns in Frihamnen, providing an overview of how these properties are managed and developed in the area.

This matter concerns the board of S:t Erik Frihamnen AB approving the company's financial statements and annual report for 2025. S:t Erik Frihamnen AB, a subsidiary of the City of Stockholm, owns and manages 18 buildings in Frihamnen and Värtahamnen pending urban development, and reported a net profit of 115,000 SEK for 2025.

This matter concerns the adjustment and distribution of the minutes from a S:t Erik Frihamnen AB board meeting held on September 26, 2025. This is a purely administrative action that confirms previously made decisions have been formally approved.

The Board of Fastighets AB Kylrummet has approved the company's financial statements and annual report for 2025. The company, owned by the City of Stockholm through a subsidiary, manages two culturally classified buildings in Frihamnen with a total rentable area of almost 12,000 sqm. In 2025, the company had rental income of approximately SEK 30.8 million and a profit after financial items of SEK 10.8 million.
